A cerebral Four-Year Starter and First Team All-NE10 Conference selection in 2019, Matthew employed his formidable size and athleticism developed on the basketball court to defend the blind side of his QB and to carve out running lanes for his RBs in effort to help the Setters achieve school record-breaking seasons in both the pass and the run game. His post-graduate fieldwork has been equally noteworthy, and is a testament to his desire and perseverance. Consider the following:

• 2022: Staying active and staying in pads, Matthew has recently been drafted by the Birmingham Stallions of the USFL, as he continues to sharpen his skills and grind for his dream job.
• 2021: Earned the starting role with the Bismarck Bucks, anchoring the right side of the O-Line.
• 2020: Denied an NFL Pro Day in his Draft Eligible season due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but kept his professional football prospects alive by signing with the Bismarck Bucks of the Indoor Football League (IFL) later in the year (October 2020).
• 2019: Helped Pace to over 3,700 total yards of offense, 22 passing touchdowns and 20 rushing touchdowns, earning himself an invitation to the post-season 2020 Dream Bowl All-Star Game.
• 2018: Helped the Setters to fourth-highest rushing total in the NE10.
• 2017: NE10’s Commissioner’s Honor Roll recognition following that fall football semester.
• 2016: Helped Pace rush for 105.3 yards per game on the ground and provided protection for a passing game that recorded 1,104 more yards in the air than in 2015.

These exploits evidence Matt’s toughness, discipline, and determination. Extremely coachable and possessing the requisite level of gristle, Matt continues to improve and stay ready for NFL opportunities.
